The Age UK Herts Volunteer Recognition event took place earlier this week at the stately home to show appreciation for the volunteers’ efforts supporting more than 3.500 older people county-wide each week.

Lord and Lady Salisbury offered The Old Palace free of charge, and visitors enjoyed a buffet lunch while singing along to a lively performance from the Welwyn Hatfield Rock Choir.

Hatfield House guide Eric McLaughlin then gave a “fascinating” talk on his life working in the royal household, pointing out various historic features.

The day was rounded off with a performance from The Herts of Love Choir, as well as a free raffle.
